Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by. This is a fairly new adventure for me so forgive me if this is not perfect. Join me on my journey in finding out more about my "Genes". Feel free to stop by anytime. I tend to work on other things from time to time so unfortunately, sometimes there are no recent posts. Come back though.

About

Every time something new pops up, or I find a picture never before seen or even a recipe it is a thrill! Since I still consider myself new at genealogy this is something I will continue to enjoy for the rest of my life. I have not given up yet! Meeting new cousins is a thrill too.

Happy Post Birthday Mom.....

My Mother would have turned 79 today. So I am thinking of her today and how much my sisters and I miss her.

Marjorie Pauline Davis Lyon was born on April 5, 1932 in Ruthven, Iowa. She died on April 14, 2007 in Gresham, Oregon. She is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Ruthven, Iowa where many of her family members are laid to rest.

Mom was an Iowa farmers daughter. She had five brothers and no sisters! One year she had a prize cow that won a blue ribbon at the county fair!

Mom would have been thrilled if she found out her girls, Nancy, Mary, Susan and Sandy got together last month in California.﻿
